[Live-devel] VLC and stb don't play "trick play" streams

This is very interesting.  Can anyone else (who's having problems 
playing our 'trick play' streams on an Amino STB) confirm this - 
i.e., that changing the video pid to 0xE0 in the original TS file 
solves the problem?

If this is true, then it should also be possible to solve the problem 
by using the original TS file's video pid (instead of 0xE0) in the 
generated 'trick play' TS stream.  (It would be possible to change 
the trick play generation code to take a desired video pid as 
parameter.)

A better solution, though, would be to change the resulting TS stream 
in some way so as to persuade the Amino STB to read the PMT for the 
'trick play' stream (and then again when we go back to the normal 1x 
stream).  Does anyone know if this is possible?
